Dear Juno, or any other teenager in a similar situation,
Well I don't know what to say because I’m a guy, but I give you a lot of respect for going through it and giving your baby up for adoption. As a guy I do believe what Vanessa said “that a guy becomes a father when he see’s the baby” I feel like I would feel the same way. I wouldn’t leave my wife though. You gave Vanessa the gift of motherhood. Teen pregnancy is no laughing matter and you stayed mature throughout the entire pregnancy. I give you respect for telling your parents at an early stage, other girls won’t tell them and wait til they find out on their own. I feel like other teens are just scared of what their parents are going to say/not have supportive parents like you did.
I do think Bleaker should have been there to help and support you for what both of you guys did. I do think you were harsh on him, but you shouldn't have neglected him the way that you did. If he was there more often I believe you might have changed your opinion on adoption and would have considered keeping the baby between you two. However it's not my choice for what you want to do with your child in the long run. I believe you two would make excellent parents for your child. You should have said yes to what the lawyer said about getting updates on your baby. Don't you want to know how your baby is doing? I know I would have wanted that.
Overall Juno I’m happy with your choices and I know your baby will grow up in a nice and supportive household.
